AncestryDNA subscribers have said on the DNA Forums,
that this AncestryDNA+ comparison report uses Ancestry FamilyTREE entries
from subscribers, to point out cousins.

Considering the many mixups in ELDER entries on those ANCESTRY TREES,
I'm very curious to see what happens when they try to point me to a TREE.
I've already been typing alot of opposing "comments" with references
on the entries for "PAXTANG PA" mixups with "FRANKLIN CO PA" TREES,
but there are more all the time, simply copied over.
For example: Rev. John ELDER of PAXTANG PA, is entered as father of
our Rev. War Soldier, Robert ELDER (1730-1807) of FRANKLIN CO PA.
However, Rev. John ELDER is really the documented father of another Rev. War Soldier,
Robert ELDER (1742-1818), who had no children:

>Another Ancestry Tree traces your William Beverly ELDER further
back through TN, and even credits a TN ancestor as coming from Franklin Co PA, which I haven't really been able to prove for myself, although it certainly makes sense.

>Also, the book "Families named ELDER in East Tennessee" doesn't trace that ELDER family back to PA for certain, but our Sevier Co TN relatives prove the Y-DNA match.

>In our ELDER DNA project we have discovered that the ELDER family of "PAXTANG PA" has very different DNA (I=ISLES, VIKING), than our "FRANKLIN CO PA" DNA (R1b).--- So they are not directly related by paternal ancestory.

>My 3rd g-grandfather, Joseph ELDER (1770-1858) was born in FRANKLIN CO PA.
> His father is Robert ELDER (1730-1807) who resided in FRANKLIN CO PA before the Rev. War.--- My DAR Membership #833222, separates him from the "PAXTANG PA" liine.
[I also posted a correction on "COMMENTS" section of ANDREAK22 TREE
to tell her about the different PAXTANG DNA, and that Joseph was born
in Franklin Co PA, the part which was formed from Cumberland Co Sept. 9, 1784]

"With help from Captain [Pierre] Drouilliard, Simon Kenton makes his escape
from Detroit, arriving at Vincennnes on July 5. At Vincennes, he meets
with George Rogers Clark and briefs him on conditions at Detroit. The
following morning he is on his way back to Can-tuc-kee. "
